NR features: RedCap, positioning, sidelink and verticals.

9 technologies in 5g and 6g radio access networks.

Technologies

  • RedCap and enhanced RedCap Reduced-capability NR devices for wearables, sensors and cameras with lower cost and power than full NR.
  • NR positioning DL-TDOA, multi-RTT, angle-based and carrier-phase methods for metre to sub-metre location of devices on the network.
  • Sidelink (PC5) Direct device-to-device links for vehicles, public safety and off-network coverage.
  • Sidelink positioning and ranging Device-to-device ranging for location where network coverage is partial.
  • URLLC and industrial IoT Low-latency, high-reliability modes for control loops in factories, utilities and ports.
  • NR multicast and broadcast Point-to-multipoint delivery for alerts, software updates and group communications.
  • Support for aerial devices Network support for drones as connected users, including identification and interference control.
  • Mission-critical services Push-to-talk, video and data for first responders over broadband networks.
  • Ambient IoT Battery-less, energy-harvesting tags read by the network for logistics and asset sensing.
